[Q] Any way to turn the screen on via the volume rocker?

So I think there might be something wrong with the power button, when it does work it has a 5 second lag between pressing it and when the lock screen pops up. However, there have been several times where I'm going to bring it out of sleep mode and it doesn't wake up - so I press and hold the power button for a few seconds and nothing. When I press it again it vibrates and boots up normally. So what I think is happening is I'm actually turning it off, thinking that it's having issues with the SOD, and then turning it back on again. But no matter how many times I just simply press the power button it still won't bring up the lock screen out of sleep. So is there some way I can turn it on via the volume rocker?
Thanks in advanced.

That is the sleep of death. No on the volume without special programming.
Well, the only thing that made me think it was otherwise was the battery stats - it shows that the tablet has been awake the whole time it's been in SOD...

That is what I have found, it is still running. That is why you have to monkey with the power button, the first long press shuts it off even tho it looks to be off. After it is shut down, then it will turn back on. Their are some ics roms that this is fixed in. I used to have the sod, but the rom I am using don't have that problem and I have had that problem with all roms, sept ics.

Power button

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my Nexus. My power button is acting strange. Long hold brings up power menu, but:
- short press does not turn screen off
- Smart cover also does not turn screen off
- double tap to status bar does not turn screen off
- 15 seconds of timeout also does not turn screen off.
What is happening? Thank you.
So your screen will not turn off at all besides powering off the device?

Thats right.
Well i don't think the power button itself is the problem since it works to power it off and on, and since the screen wont sleep by other methods either.
Did you flash a new ROM, kernel, or other mod before this happened?

[Q] Galaxy S4 turn on automatically when i put the battery in, then dies for good.

My galaxy s4 turns on automatically with out pressing the power button as soon as i put the battery in, then it dies after it gets to the galaxy s4 logo.. then nothing would turn in back on. i tried almost everything, idk what to do.
Is it hard bricked or is it soft bricked? I also cant get to the hard reset menu. When i put the battery i quickly press the power button and the down volume button, it goes to the boot menu screen. if i press up volume button fast enough itll continue to that but then die right away. And if i dont press volume up button it also dies right away.
Please help, with any suggestions.
Thank you.
It has nothing to do with a brick.
Your power button is probably damaged. You should replace it.

s4 i9500 not start

Guys I was yesterday turned off the phone, now turns and reaches the black background with logo of Samsung Galaxy S4, then restarts, will not let me enter recovery mode, and if I enter download mode, gives me the option of pressing button increase or decrease volume and pressing any of these resets and returns to the above.

What can I do?
Your power button may be stuck.

It just "feels" normal.
Try tapping it on a hard surface for a while..not too hard tapping though..
It should be fine. Happens with many here
could it be because the place you battery latches only
I just remove the phone to see if the buttons are locked, and there were none in this condition
I believe there are 3 connections on the motherboard for the power button. Do you have a multimeter to see if the power button circuits are constantly open or closed?
I opened it and pulled the internal button on and off and was constantly rebooting, I took a technical service and changed the internal button now works well; )

my screen turns off when disconected from the charger

i left my phone charging with a game playing, and when i came back the message saying the phone was going to turn down to stop the heat was showing in screen.
now when i turn on the screen it takes 1 second to turns off by itself and start overheating below the samsung logo(in the front, below the earpiece).
i can fix it or have to replace something?
Could try booting in safe mode. That should rule out any hardware issues.
Instructions from Google:
Turn the device off.Press and hold the Power key past the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge screen.
When "SAMSUNG" appears on the screen, release the Power key.
Immediately after releasing the Power key, press and hold the Volume down key.
Leave in this mode for a while. Maybe uninstall the game while your in safe mode.
I had a similar issue I solved this way.
